Collector Description
Gathered a collection of 4 that (for me at least) does everything I need.
Panerai 01313 Blue Sunburst: a daily beater. Robust, heavy and very waterproof, the Pan is my go to sports watch (alongside my trusty Apple Watch!)
Grand Seiko SLGH011 Green Birch: a fun weekend watch to match a casual chic wardrobe. By far the most mesmerizing dial amongst the 4.
AP 15500 Black Dial: A classic for any occasion.
IWC Ingenieur Aqua: the latest addition to the collection. Simply could not resist that Aqua dial.
Looking for another to add to the collection. Thinking of adding one from that brand that begins with an R and ends with an olex… what about a Sky Dweller chocolate/everose gold or one with a blue dial and stainless steel?
